A very little time remains to land the descendable apparatus of the transport piloted ship “Yu.A. Gagarin” (Union of MS-18). The crew of the ship, which entered the hero of Russia, Cosmonaut Roscosmos Oleg Novitsky, as well as participants in the space flight of Julia Peresilde and Klim Shipenko, continues to prepare for always technically difficult to diverge, descending from the near-earth orbit and landing in the Kazakh steppe.
Over the past days, cosmonauts overloaded all the goods returned to Earth, the equipment and the results of scientific research on board the ship, studied onboard documentation and worked out with possible abnormal situations.
Fartinener of the 65th long expedition Oleg Novitsky, located on board the International Space Station from April 9, 2021, passed a full session of recovery in a negative pressure costume “Chibis”, which should help him adapt to the conditions of earth gravity after landing, and also worked out the descent procedure on a special computer-simulator.
Today, October 15, 2021, the crew together with the specialists of the main operational management team of the Russian Segment of the ISS (Rocket and Space Corporation “Energy” named after S.P. Korolev) and the Center for Flight Management TsNIIMASH (both enterprises enter the perimeter of the State Corporation “Roskosmos “) continues to actively prepare for the upcoming landing and performs work on the Russian scientific program.
Recall, “Cinema Equipment” with actress Yulia Peresilde and director Klim Shipenko takes off the first feature film in space about a doctor who flies into orbit to save the cosmonaut. Cosmonauts of Roskosmos Anton Sluffers, Oleg Novitsky and Peter Dubrov, take part in the filming of the film.
